Chapter Twenty-Six: The Golden Feather
Most of the routes from the north side of the heavy snow to Golden Feather City are actually safe, the climate above the snow line is harsh, not suitable for most wyvern species, and below the snow line is divided into hunting grounds by a small number of land dragons, the chance of crossing the route and the wyvern species is actually very rare, not to mention that the union will also patrol this area regularly, expelling the flying dragon species that pass by occasionally or have recently settled down to areas that will not affect navigation.

So the next two days of the voyage were thrill-free, and even so, the experience of a brief confrontation with the male fire dragon was enough for the crew to talk about for a while. After their initial fears, the two children's glimpse of the male fire dragon greatly inspires their yearning for the hunter's world.
Exploring the unknown and fighting against powerful monsters is what only heroes do, and they have undoubtedly pushed the door open to the world of heroes.
Therefore, the two children listened to Uncle Hard's teachings with great care, how to deal with people in the guild, how to protect themselves in the training grounds, and all kinds of inconspicuous but practical experience and skills, and the hero was eager to pass on to them the experience of his years of life as a hunter.
For three days in a row, I could only see the blue sky and the monotonous scenery below, and even when I was sleeping, I could feel the slight shaking of the airship, and Feng Dust and Lu Xiu's enthusiasm for flying had long since disappeared. At the moment of being down-to-earth, Feng Chen couldn't help but shout loudly, and Lu Xiu also opened his arms and hugged the fresh air on the ground.
The airship is parked on the take-off and landing apron exclusive to the trade union outside the city of Jinyu, saying that it is exclusive, but in peacetime it will also accept ordinary civilian airships, in order to accommodate the super-large commercial spacecraft, the take-off and landing pad has to be expanded again and again, and finally it has become what it is now covering an area of several thousand square meters.
"This landing pad is half the size of our village." Feng Dust looked around, the small airship area they were in was the busiest, there were constantly all kinds of spaceships taking off and landing, the guides waving various colored flags to command, the granite paved ground was full of yellow line demarcated parking areas and fixed rope hooks, and the rail cars transporting goods passed by the children from time to time.
"The whole village." Luciu pointed farther away, the area where the large airship was docked was several times larger than where they were.
The most conspicuous thing is a huge steel castle, the square geometric body is nearly 300 meters high, the appearance is unknown whether it is reinforced metal or painted in a heavy blue-black, the most striking is the circular emblem composed of three golden feathers printed on all sides. With dozens of propellers extending from all sides and from the top of the castle, this massive structure is actually a literal airship.
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" The shock of sealing the dust was no less than coming into contact with the male fire dragon head-on, "What is such a big airship used to transport?" ”
"This is the commercial boat of the Golden and Blue Chamber of Commerce." Cheng Jing said with a smile that the three-day journey had made him very familiar with the two children, "It was used to transport sleeping birds." ”
Jinyu City is located in the north of the mainland, the four seasons are distinct, and in winter, there are large snowy mountains in the north as a barrier, not too cold, such weather is most suitable for the survival of sleeping birds, which like to live in the temperate zone. Not only that, but it is also home to a golden toad, which is said to turn orange and golden when eaten by a sleeping bird.
Therefore, the Golden and Blue Chamber of Commerce will airlift some sleeping birds from the Old World every once in a while and release them into the hunting grounds under their name, and the golden sleeping birds captured from the hunting grounds, their golden tail feathers are the favorite ornaments of the nobles, and the purest golden tail feathers can be exchanged for dozens of times the weight of gold in the hands of the extravagant nobles. This industry is the core of the Golden Blue Chamber of Commerce and the reason for its name.
"Why would anyone bring creatures from the Old World here?" After listening to the young hunter's story, Feng Chen tilted his head and asked, "It's so far between the two continents, it will take a long time to take the airship." ”
Uncle Harder replied, "There is a legend in the city that when the city was still a small village, a young man proposed to a beautiful maiden, and she said that she could marry him only by giving her the most beautiful feather in the world as a headdress for her wedding dress. The young man went to all corners of the world, and found many feathers of birds and dragons, but none of them satisfied the girl. ”
"It's difficult." Lu Xiu's brow furrowed slightly.
But the lad was not discouraged, and one day he found a bird with beautiful orange feathers in the Old World, and he took great pains to transport him back to the village.
"It's a sleeping bird." Feng Chen interjected.
"Yes, but the girl still did not like the feathers, and the desperate young man said to the tall sleeping bird, 'If it is destined that I can marry her, let your tail feathers become the most beautiful in the world.'" "So the sleeping bird went to the side of the road, and ate a golden toad, and shed all its feathers, and grew a pure golden feather that no one had ever seen." ”
"Did they get married in the end?" The little hunter asked.
"Who knows, it's just a legend anyway, but he must have caught up with the girl he loved."
"That girl is really, if she likes him, as long as she agrees to propose, why should she be so deliberately embarrassed for him?" Feng Chen pouted.
"This is love, you are still young, and you will understand it when you grow up." Cheng Jing hit the young man's back with his fist, "Chasing girls is more difficult than hunting monsters. ”
"I used to think that those who couldn't catch up with the girl were like Lu Dama, and they didn't dare to speak." He glanced at Lu Xiu teasingly, "Okay now, we've all left Xuelin Village, and when you go back, Xiao Xiaoyun is estimated to be married." ”
Lu Xiu's face turned a rare red, but then it darkened. The two children have left their homeland and come here, seeing that they are about to be separated from each other again, and the unknown and loneliness are the most terrifying dragons, but they are also the only way to grow.
During the conversation, the union hunters had already completed a series of procedures for the airship to dock, and Master Mo and the accompanying hunters had also disembarked. Luciu was ordered to follow Deacon Morin, and Uncle Harder had to join his hunter team as soon as possible, leaving only Feng Chen's trainee hunter certificate signed by the chief deacon, and going to the union headquarters to wait for being assigned to the training base for a year of training.
The three people who were about to separate couldn't help but sigh again, and hugged each other tightly for a while. Mo Lin left Cheng Jing, who was familiar with the sealed dust, to him as a guide to walk the Golden Feather City. The crowd split into three different directions and were separated.
…………
"Be careful, those are medicinal herbs! Can't put it underneath! Outside the cargo hold of the merchant ship, the angry middle-aged shipowner was directing the stevedores, "Put that bundle of deerskin underneath, be careful not to scratch it, whoever cuts a piece of wages will lose a silver coin!" ”
There was still more than half a compartment of cargo in the hold, and if the speed was not increased, it might not be unloaded before dark, and the owner looked at the height of the sun and silently calculated the speed.
In the dark cabin, the boy flashed from one pile of cargo to another, and he looked out through the packages and bundles of fur. The cabin was filled with the nitrate of tanned deerskins and the pungent smell of dried herbs, but the boy looked out as if he hadn't smelled it.
A group of stevedores carried a few packages, and the shipowner's attention shifted to the workers, and in the blink of an eye, the boy dodged out of the hold.
"Ahh Ravaged by the smell of goods for three days and two nights, the boy suddenly smelled fresh air, and the boy unconsciously sneezed. A shirtless sturdy worker noticed the boy who had appeared out of nowhere, and he wiped his sweat and asked, "Hey! Kid over there! I'm unloading here, let's play to the side! ”
The boy stood still, looking around, as if to take in all the scenery of the landing pad in his eyes, and after a while, he noticed the interrogating worker. He looked at the sweaty stevedores and did not speak or leave.
"Boy, what about you! Where are you from? "The workers are a little irritable, if this kid is allowed to wreak havoc on the owner's cargo, then their porters will be deducted from their wages today.
"How do the Hunter Guild go?" The boy finally asked, having not spoken to anyone for several days, and his voice was a little dry and hoarse.
A little annoyed by this unknown and illiterate young man, the worker wished that he should leave early, and he pointed in a direction: "That's over there." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man turned and left.
A gust of wind blew, and the boy's robe hunted.
